About This Visa
Indian ordinary-passport holders need a visa for Botswana. They are not visa-free. Apply before travel.
Usual staff path: online at https://evisa.gov.bw, or Form 1 at a Botswana immigration office, embassy, or consulate (including New Delhi). Decision takes 7 to 14 working days. Online: open the approval or rejection letter on the evisa portal. In person: collect it from the office where you lodged. If approved and the sticker is not printed yet, travel with the approval letter — immigration can print the visa at the airport or other port of entry.
